Dip 53: African Diplomacy Spring 2005 Results
Well, it looks like nothing can go wrong for the Ivory Coast, with every one of his moves paying off this season. The green wave is washing over the continent and neither South Africa nor Saudi Arabia's efforts have had much effect. Saudi has taken the brunt of the attack in the past few seasons and the battle looks set to continue. Further south, Saudi is having more luck, and the capture of Somalia could prove decisive in the war with Ethiopia. The Ethiopians also made some headway this turn, however, moving in on the two remaining Zairean SCs. Zaire has its back well and truly against the wall, but managed to hold its own for another turn. A quiet trun for South Africa, but it did allow a consolidation of territory previously lost to Zaire. The great naval battle waging for the past few turns over the Gulf of Congo was finally lost to the Ivorians, however, and it could be a struggle to win it back.
